Event Details

In September, 2015, the City of Oregon City (OC) and Oregon City Chamber of Commerce hosted a forum on OC’s System Development Charges. The forum was well attended by members of both the development community and interested citizens.

The forum was such a success that one of the outcomes was the request and commitment to schedule a follow-up meeting. After more than a year, the forum follow-up “Oregon City System Development Charge Roundtable Meeting – Transportation Specific” has been scheduled for Tuesday, April 25, 2017. In preparation, the City has continued to work with transportation planners at DKS Associates as well as John Ghilarducci of FCS Group to study the proposed Transportation System Plan (TSP) project list and its financial impacts. This work has included a detailed review of the TSP’s project list and updated cost estimates including SDC eligible costs.

In the ongoing effort to balance the community’s need for safe, efficient and adequately sized infrastructure along with equitable solutions that support economic investment, the agenda we plan to cover during this follow-up meeting is as follows:

- Changes to the SDC project list

Should a set percentage of costs be excluded from the rate calculation?

Is the project list asking too much?

- SDC financial analysis results - do the results include assumptions that include non-local funds?

- Local SDCs and how they have changed- Redevelopment and SDCs

Reduced SDCs: is it the right thing to do?

Previous use: how much history is too much history?

SDC credits beyond 10 years?

What infrastructure did property owners from the past pay to build?

- SDC Financing: Is there anything the City should do?- Development Incentives for SDCs:
